Hello,


We wrote a post-processor to the output of 'mbexamine' that condenses 
the numbers considered most useful into a one-line-per-folder format.

We also perform a daily quota listing:


% cd quotareports
% ls -l|tail -1
-rw-r--r--   1 cyrus    mail      566821 Jan 27 06:05 quotareport_0127.gz
% gunzip -c quotareport_0127.gz | head -2
    Quota   % Used     Used Root
  1024000       11   114940 user/aaaXYZ
% gunzip -c quotareport_0127.gz | awk ' { s += $3 } END  { print NR,s } '
67798 6786136646
mcs1%


% ctl_mboxlist -d | wc -l
   239979


6.7 Terabyte of active mailbox data (+50% of ZFS snapshots kept for 180 
days), 67798 users, 239979 mail folders




Every Sunday we produce a complete inventory using the mbexamine 
postprocessor, this takes approximately one hour and three quarters.
